tick/nohz: Only check for RCU deferred wakeup on user/guest entry when needed
Checking for and processing RCU-nocb deferred wakeup upon user/guest entry is only relevant when nohz_full runs on the local CPU, otherwise the periodic tick should take care of it. Make sure we don't needlessly pollute these fast-paths as a -3% performance regression on a will-it-scale.per_process_ops has been reported so far. Fixes: 47b8ff194c1f (entry: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point) Fixes: 4ae7dc97f726 (entry/kvm: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point) Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
